“Are Citizens of the World Succeeding in Lessening Global Poverty?”
Poverty entails limitations upon populations in education, finance,
human potential, substance and shelter, gender class differences, all
limitations that tax food sources, curtailing the potential of the
cultures’ youth, loss of capital in maintenance and little for
developing sustainable of wealth.
Ending global poverty constitutes a major goal of humanity. There
have been many innovative proposals and projects implemented to achieve
this goal, several ways of measuring the results of innovative efforts,
and considerable publicity to disseminate the results of the effective
innovations.
In a well-written essay, not to exceed 2000 words, discuss one of the following concerns:
1. Discuss a novel innovative proposal to combat poverty. Elaborate
how feasible is its implementation, how measurable its outcomes, and
promise for replicability in any region.
2. Discuss some innovative practices that have been particularly
effective in reducing or eliminating poverty in some regions. Do they
show any promise as a model for implementation elsewhere? Are they
promising on a global scale?
3. Some means to innovate projects for lessening poverty impinge upon
cultural practices, rights of either men or women, and may be
considered contrary to one’s dignity. Can these limitations be
overlooked in the interests of the greater good? Why or why not?
4. Both governmental and private funding has resulted in lessening
poverty. Select an example of either to discuss the better approach,
keeping in mind accountability and adaptability to any global setting.
5. Consider an acknowledgedly successful innovation to lessen poverty
in a particular region to explore to what extent it can be customized
for another setting? For the entire international scene?
6. Identify an example of an effective innovation to decrease poverty
that utilized social means within a culture, without intrusions from
NGOs or the UN. Why or why isn’t this example promising for all regions?
Address ONLY ONE of the preceding questions in an essay of approximately 2000 words.
Include in your discussion, implicitly or explicitly, why you have
chosen it. Explain how you see the question as it relates to your own
nation and contrast your nation’s policies with at least those of one
other. In final draft, establish a distinct voice.
